Some personalities simply fit radio.
Others help redefine what radio can become.
Shawn Tempesta is stepping into mornings at 98.5 KLUC, where “The Shawn Show” becomes the latest chapter in a career built on creativity, personality, and connecting with audiences wherever they are.
For Tempesta, this isn’t just another air shift.
It’s the continuation of a broadcasting journey that has made him one of the industry’s most recognizable contemporary personalities. Over the years, he has built a reputation that stretches well beyond the microphone, combining on-air talent with digital innovation, social media strategy, content creation, podcasting, and video production. His ability to engage listeners across multiple platforms has helped redefine what a modern radio personality looks like.
That’s one of the reasons this move matters.
Today’s successful morning shows aren’t confined to the FM dial. They’re brands that live on smartphones, social media, streaming platforms, podcasts, and video. Tempesta has spent years proving he understands that evolution, making him a natural fit for one of America’s heritage CHR stations.
Radio also remains a family business for the Tempestas.
Shawn is married to Sammi Tempesta, who serves as Assistant Program Director and afternoon personality at Neon 93.1 in Las Vegas. Together, the two have become one of Southern Nevada’s most recognizable broadcasting couples, each helping shape the sound of the market from different stations.
Morning drive has always been radio’s biggest stage.
It’s where personalities become household names, where habits are formed, and where listeners decide who they’ll spend the next several hours with each day.
KLUC has made its choice.
Now the spotlight belongs to Shawn Tempesta.
